History
The channel 18 founded as WSYE-TV on 10 September 1956 and at that time New house Communications owned it. It is one of the oldest stations of Elmira’s city. Times Mirror Company purchased the station in 1980 from Newhouse in which WSYE and WSYR included. Times Mirror changed its call letters into WSTM-TV and then into WETM. WETM established as a full-fledged station when Times Mirror cut the ties between two channels.
